Stephen Camp guest hosts Cut for Time and interviews Pastor Nathan.

Why do we end our worship services with a benediction and commissioning rather than just saying “you are dismissed”? The character of God and the news of the Gospel empowers us to be sent out into the world. Benediction/Commissioning is the final form we will be studying in our series, and it gives us reason to pause and praise God for his goodness and his blessings.

Pastor Jeff shares a few additional thoughts and things he had to cut for time on Sunday.

Why do we focus so much on the Bible in our worship? We sing it, pray it, pray for it, read it, preach and hear it. What do we hope to accomplish? How does God’s word shape us together as God’s people? Join us for “The Word of God” from Psalm 1.

Pastor Jeff shares a few more thoughts on the element of offerings.

The Law required sacrifices for unholy people to approach a holy God. But in Psalm 66, we see the writer going far beyond what was required, in an expression of lavish generosity. We know we don’t offer sacrifices to draw near to God (much less to get something from him). And God doesn’t need anything. So why is giving a part of our worship? Join us as we look at “Offerings” from Psalm 66.

Pastor Joey shares some thoughts on prayer that he had to cut for time on Sunday.

Every week in this transFORMation series we’ve said that what we do when we worship does something to us. But how does listening to someone else pray shape me, when they’re doing all the talking? Join us for “Pray With Me” from Psalm 73!

Pastor Joey shares more about communion and baptism and answers a few of our questions!

One of the best indicators of a church’s health is their sense of unity — are we here for the same reasons, pursuing the same goals, growing together? We consider the role that Baptism and Communion play in unifying our church as we study Psalm 133 in “Gospel Images.”
